That's blasphemy.

Indeed it is. Guess what? I don't care.

If you feel you must mock a ritual, you shouldn't participate in it.

In order to make a statement this self-centered, you need to be so selfish that you can't even understand that it's self-centered.

Let's see if I can explain it in simple enough terms that can penetrate your thick skull.

OK, every year there's a holiday called Passover which me and my social circle celebrate with a big meal called a Seder. This is our tradition, which we do because we enjoy it. However, we don't enjoy blind adherence to tradition for the sake of tradition, which is why we always change it up a bit to keep it fresh and celebrate our willingness to put enjoyment over dogma. That is our ritual. That is what we do.

You, on the other hand, are so selfish that you don't understand the idea of other people having their own customs, beliefs, and practices. In your little world, there are the rituals you perform, and that is the One True Way of doing things. Anyone who deviates from your custom does so to mock you and for no other reason.

Or actually, let's put it this way.

I have now decided that the Seder I will attend is the correct holiday ritual. You must celebrate with ham hock, rosemary, chutney, and rolls or you must forgo a Seder entirely. After all, this is my ritual and if you feel the need to mock it with flat baked paste then you shouldn't participate in it.
